ABSTRACT:
The object of this invention is to provide golf club holder which will prevent individual clubs from striking each other, or falling out of the bag under either golf play or transportation conditions. A basic club head holder is disclosed in this invention in which uniquely shaped apertures hold the club heads in place. These apertures contain an angled slot opening and a cantilevered top protrusion which partially closes the aperture top opening. Insertion and removal of the club requires only alignment of the club blade with the slot entrance. During insertion, the top protrusion is laterally bent by the club head until the blade is seated, then it bends back to captivate or "hook" the hosel. Since the cantilever is stiffer against rotation away from the bag, the clubs are prevented from falling out. The inside edges of the aperture may be covered with a grommet-like cushioning material in order to further protect the club heads. In alternate embodiments, the holding assembly can be made in separate segments which may be connected together. These designs serve to both reduce the shipping package size and provide a size adjustment upon assembly so as to fit various bags of different diameter. In one arrangement, the separate sections are joined at the edges by a unique set of rectangular notches which dovetail together and partially overlap. One end notch and mating protrusion is made circular in order to provide an interlock against horizontal separating forces.
